If she's in the weight/height range it's really about which boat feels more comfortable, and how comfortable she is with how the boats handle. I do think the Fuse is a bit more stable, but I love the responsiveness of the 2Fun, which in a sense makes up for it being a bit less stable, if that makes any sense. And Jacksons in general are some of the most comfortable boats for me. But Wavesport outfitting is great too. My advice is for her to demo each one if she can. Good luck!

The Fuse 48 is her size but she's also considering a Jackson Too 2 Fun. I think that she could go with the 2 fun. The question is what are your dimensions (height, weight, inseam) so that we can use them to compare?

On the play end, I'm not really enough of a playboater to give it a good whirl, I'm just going by how it feels to me at the level I'm at, and what I hear from others who are more knowledgeable. Since I'm boating the Fuse these days it's good to hear your comments, looking forward to playing on the Wenatchee again in a few months with it - and any other boat I can get my hands on. :) The Fuse definitely feels more stable to me too.

I demo'd the Fun and the Fuse and found the Fuse to be a much better Play machine than that of the Fun and more stable too. I demo'd on class 4 for 3 days and it was hands down the Fuse! Anyway, goes to show different paddlers, different views. Really.. I demo’d the Fun and the Fuse and found the Fuse to be a much better Play machine than that of the Fun and more stable too.
